Say, is it very bad up there? Hey? Unknown Man. Yes, it's bad. I am sick and tired of it. Drunken Man. Can't you get a drink? Unknown Man. No, how can I? Second Drunken Man. Say, what are you talking about? How can he get a drink? The man is about to die and you tempt him and try to get him excited. Listen, up there, we have been drinking your health right along. It won't hurt you, will it? First Drunken Man. Ah, go on! What are you talking about? How can it hurt him? Why, it will only do him good. It will encourage him. Listen, honest to God, we are very sorry for you, but don't mind us. We are going to the café to have another drink. Good-by. Second Drunken Man. Look, what a crowd. First Drunken Man. Come, or he'll fall and then they'll close the café.
